Chapter 26 The Woman in Black
"I heard from the girl last time that it was the dead cat that caused trouble in my house?"
Li Mingyu tapped her fingers lightly on the table and asked with a frown.
"That's right! That's it." Qiao Xuan nodded and stood up from his seat, "Sir, can you take me around the backyard?"
"Okay! Please come with me." Li Mingyu was probably really afraid that the cat would harm him and Li Mingjuan even after taking the old lady's life, so she agreed without thinking.
Last night, there was a shrill cat meowing from the yard where the old lady lived. It was eerie and terrifying. People in the house were in panic. After being uneasy all night, the news of the old lady's death came at dawn.
He now regards Qiao Xuan as his own life-saving straw. She will do whatever she says, as long as it can save his life.
Qiao Xuan took out two talismans from his sleeves and gave them to Xi He and Li Mingyu.
"This is?" Li Mingyu was confused.
"With this, you will be able to see some things that you can't usually see." Qiao Xuan smiled mysteriously. After all, what you hear is not as intuitive as what you see.
The three of them left the study and walked along a long corridor, with white lanterns fluttering in the wind. Li Mingjuan hid behind them from a distance.
Suddenly Li Mingyu stopped and looked not far away, his voice trembling, "What is that?"
Qiao Xuan was not surprised and replied calmly: "Yin Qi."
Xi He couldn't help frowning as he looked at the roof shrouded in black mist, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"That's the courtyard where my old lady lives," Li Mingyu murmured, gradually feeling guilty for secretly leaving the talisman to herself.
"The cat's body is not in that yard, let's go! Go and look elsewhere." Qiao Xuan saw the change in his face and raised the corners of his lips mockingly.
After hearing this, Li Mingyu continued to move forward.
When Li Mingjuan reached the place where they stopped, she stood still and looked for a while, but found nothing. She didn't know what the three of them were looking at here just now.
After walking around with Qiao Xuan and Xi He, they finally reached the lakeside, where Li Mingjuan fell into the water last time.
Li Mingyu intuitively felt that there was something fishy about this place. Every time he came here, it was chilly and made him feel uncomfortable.
The wind blows across the lake, causing ripples, and the fragrance fills the air.
"Look!" Li Mingyu suddenly shouted, pointing at the center of the lake.
A small vortex appeared in the center of the lake, and black air continued to escape from the center of the vortex. The entire lake was gradually shrouded in fog, and even the lotus flowers on the lake could not be seen clearly.
It was the first time he saw such a terrifying scene. Li Mingyu's fat body couldn't help but tremble.
Xi He stared at the lake with his deep eyes. Maybe he had seen such a strange scene before, so he was quite calm now.
Qiao Xuan's face was tense, and he was observing the changes around him intently.
"Dad, what are you looking at?" Li Mingjuan, who had been hiding for a long time without listening to anything, couldn't help but ran out openly and asked curiously.
Li Mingyu shouted urgently, "Who asked you to come here? Go back quickly!"
It's so dangerous here, and to come over so foolishly is to risk your life!
Li Mingjuan was attacked one after another, and her temper became fierce, "I won't leave! The beautiful man is here, and I won't leave!"
She closed the distance with Xi He.
Xi He moved to Qiao Xuan's side without hesitation. He was engaged and had to pay attention to the distance between him and other girls at all times, so as not to hurt Qiao Xuan's heart.
Li Mingyu turned around and wanted to ask his servants to take Li Mingjuan away, but a black shadow pounced on him with lightning speed.
Qiao Xuan stretched out his hand to block it, and the black shadow was bounced back by a burst of golden light.
"Ahhhhhhh~, you damn girl ruined my good deeds!" A rough and ugly voice that couldn't tell the difference between male and female sounded.
Li Mingyu ignored Li Mingjuan and rushed behind Qiao Xuan.
Because Li Mingjuan didn't have Qiao Xuan's talisman on her body, she couldn't see anything that others could see. In her opinion, everything around her was calm and normal, and it was her father and the dead village girl who were startled.
"I'm going to kill you! Kill everyone here." The black shadow turned into a beautiful woman with an enchanting figure, standing lightly on the water, wearing a black dress, and her long hair fluttering in the wind.
Qiao Xuan stared at the beautiful woman coldly, "You can give it a try."
This thing actually contaminated more than one life. She thought that it could take away the old lady's life at most, but it seemed that she couldn't keep it today.
The dark wind blew, the lake was filled with black air, and the fragrance of lotus became pungent and unpleasant.
"Meow~" a cat meowed.
"Dad, it's here again! Did you hear it? The cat meowed." Li Mingjuan heard the cat meow even though she saw the woman, her scalp was numb and she said tremblingly.
"Shut up! Don't talk." Li Mingyu gave her stupid daughter a hard look. She didn't even know how to lower her sense of presence at this moment. She kept talking and couldn't see.
A long black belt shot straight towards Qiao Xuan, enveloping him with a chill.
Qiao Xuan narrowed her eyes, and when the belt reached in front of her, she grabbed it with her bare hands. The woman in black was pulled forward and almost fell down. She flipped in the air to stabilize her body.
She was angry, annoyed and frightened, and bared her teeth at Qiao Xuan fiercely. Her teeth on both sides were very long and pointed, glowing coldly.
Qiao Xuan took out a charm from his arms and stuck it on the belt. The next second he screamed, "Ah~"
The beautiful woman was in such pain that her expression became hideous and terrifying.
I don't know who suddenly used force and the belt broke in the middle. The beautiful woman's pain faded away and disappeared into a gust of wind in the middle of the lake.
Li Mingyu became anxious and said: "She ran away!"
"We can't let her run away! Otherwise she will come back." He wanted to make her disappear into ashes and avoid future troubles for himself.
"Her body is at the bottom of the lake, where else could it go?" Qiao Xuan glanced sideways at Li Mingyu and said angrily.
He was so afraid of death that he still committed all kinds of bad things. Did he really think that he would be safe after taking care of the guy at the bottom of the lake? Qiao Xuan secretly cursed.
Li Mingjuan realized later that she seemed to be seeing something different from what others saw, "Dad, what did you see? Did you see the ghost?"
Li Mingyu was in no mood to pay attention to her, and looked at Qiao Xuan pleading, "Please, girl, make her disappear!"
"We need someone to clear the water in the lake. We need to dig out her body!" Qiao Xuan walked around the lake, bending down from time to time to put down a talisman and hold it down with a stone.
Li Mingyu and the others followed her, fearing to disturb her and not daring to speak out loud.
After Qiao Xuan placed charms in several corners by the lake and took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, Li Mingyu said, "Okay, I'll find someone to drain the water right away."
Qiao Xuan rubbed his stomach, "I've been busy for a while and I'm a little hungry."
